Arteta’s game plan seems to be working for big teams, team defending well pressing well. It will be interesting to see how they will fare against more conservative teams who likes to sit back and defend.

Arteta has 4 more training sessions between now and the Leeds game so who knows how good we might be in that game :-) .
Strange that Luis and Papa should talk about the team not being fit enough yet to keep going for 90 minutes at the moment but also being excited about how we will be.
The players are finally working both hard and well in training and very importantly talking about how much they are enjoying it.
For so many years now training has been all about energy saving tippy tappy football and no proper tackling as Arsene didn't want players injuring each other for match days but how you practice each day becomes à habit and it's on the training field that we really lost our way and became soft and developed our non competitive nature and it's absolutely brilliant to see and hear how the players are responding to the reintroduction of real proper training methods.
Mikel was few people's choice but I've a feeling who we got a rather than who we wanted might just be the best thing that's happened to Arsenal football club in years.

The fitness levels, or rather lack of fitness levels, of the squad under Emery shocked me. I believed that Emery wanted the team to press hard all over the pitch, so it made sense to improve the fitness accordingly.

He also wanted to improve our defence and make us more exciting to watch. That’s 0 out of 3 for Emery. 🤣🤣.
